I think that this is the only way to view the Kotchman deal.  He was practically free.  It is like if your buddy goes down and gets the 5 Roast beefs sandwiches for 5.99 deal at Arby's and can't finish the last one, but he is dying of thirst, so he trades you a hot Roast Beef Sandwich for a swig of your 2 day old Nalgene bottle of water you carry around in your backpack.  You would be dumb to NOT take that deal :)
Sure a roast beef sandwich is nothing to write home about, it certainly isn't a Carl's Jr. six dollar burger or anything ;)  But, hey, it was a free lunch!  And if you find that the Arby's worker wrapped up the wrong type of sandwich and it is actually an extremely tasty Bacon Chedder Roast Burger?  Well then BONUS baby.
Kotchman as a place holder -- Free lunch, Roast beef.
2007 Kotchman -- Bacon Cheddar, babeh!
Every time I get antsy about Kotchman I just remember what we gave up for him and then I feel all better, heck if all he turns out to be is a pinch hitter, that is better then Ruben Flores or Bill Hall!  And I have absolutely NO FEAR that id Kotchman is killing rallies and OPS'ing 700 that Z will be willing to kick him to the curb faster than you can say, Ronney Cedeno!
